Venue Setting

One of the crown jewels of Georgia's famed Golden Isles, Little St. Simons Island offers 7 miles of pristine beaches and 10,000 acres of undeveloped wilderness for exploration and relaxation. Privately owned since 1908 and accessible only by boat, Little St. Simons Island has retained the charm and unhurried pace of coastal living. Moss draped live oaks and glistening marshes surround comfortable accommodations for no more than 32 overnight guests.

Little St. Simons Island is committed to being a sustainable operation. Our seed-to-table program is one example of this. Fruits, vegetables and herbs are grown in our certified organic garden and used by our chefs in preparing delicious meals for our guests. Fresh local seafood is also a staple in our meals. In addition to being sustainable, we are also committed to conservation and have an Ecological Manager and ecological management plan to insure that we are helping maintain this special place for generations to come.

Little St. Simons Island is an ideal getaway for individuals, groups, families, family reunions, retreats and business meetings. You may reserve a single room, an entire cottage, or the full island. Stays are all-inclusive of accommodations, boat transfers to and from the island, three prepared meals daily, beverages including soft drinks, beer and wine, all activities including Naturalist led excursions and use of all recreation equipment.

Venue Features

The Scene:

Little St. Simons Island offers 7 miles of pristine beaches and over 11,000 acres of undeveloped wilderness. The island boasts several distinct scenes and habitats which include: thick-canopied moss-draped live oak maritime forests, miles of pristine beaches free of signs of other people, sweetgrass meadows, and sweeping views across creeks and the marshes for which Georgia's Golden Isles are named.

Design:

The historic Barn, a landmark within the Island’s main Lodge compound, has been extensively renovated and transformed into the ideal center point for group meetings on the Island. Whether for executive retreats of a dozen or corporate groups up to 32 persons, the intimacy, natural beauty and privacy of Little St. Simons Island produce a very real and unique sense of focus and productivity. And the abundance of recreational options helps attendees relax between sessions and, when pursued by the entire group, fosters colleague relationships and encourages team-building.

The Barn and the Island’s variety of attendee accommodations are joined by a host of complementing settings for meetings, including our poolside Screen House, the Hunting Lodge and inspiring outdoor locations.

Planning an event is a lot of work! When you reserve the entire island, you will receive the assistance of our full island specialist. She will help you schedule boat times, assign rooms, plan the menu and set the daily schedule. Two additional perks include: special outside lunch at one of the island's picnic locations and an evening oyster roast (weather and seasonal availablility allowing).

Food, Restaurants, Cafes:

Regional cuisine prepared by our skilled chefs is a highlight of visits to Little St. Simons Island, with three meals daily as well as soft drinks, beer and wine included in the nightly rate. Simple yet delicious meals include fruits, vegetables and herbs from our island garden as well as local seafood and produce. Our seed-to-table program is dedicated to the research and demonstration of organic crop methods for coastal southeast soils, while providing the best possible produce for our guest meals.

Breakfast and dinner are served family-style in the Hunting Lodge dining room. Lunch is served there, too, except on most Saturdays (weather permitting) when it is presented seaside. Picnic lunches are also available.

Each evening before dinner, a delightful social hour with wine and hors d'oeuvres is held, including Friday evening oyster roasts (seasonal when local oysters are available) on the Lodge grounds. All are favored times to recount the day’s adventures with family and new friends.

In addition to growing fresh produce, herbs and flowers in our garden, we are proud to support local farms, fishermen and products.
